6 Properties Of Enzymes. 1 Enzymes are complex macromolecules with high molecular weight. Most of enzymes are globular protein. The six kinds of enzymes are hydrolases oxidoreductases lyases transferases ligases and isomerases. We will study the following chemical features of an enzyme mentioned in a figure below.
Name the substrates and products of the peroxidase catalyzed reaction. Enzymes are _________ ________ Lock Key Not destroyed. Enzymes are very specific in their action. A few enzymes like ribo4mes are nucleic acid in nature. Enzymes increase the speed of a chemical reaction. Enzyme catalyzed reactions usually take place under relatively mild conditions temperatures well below 100 o C atmospheric pressure and neutral pH as compared with the corresponding chemical reactions.
The enzyme Oxidoreductase catalyzes the oxidation reaction where the electrons tend to travel from one form of a molecule to the other.
Enzymes are required in minute quantities as compared to the substrate. Particular enzymes act on particular substrates only. Six properties of enzymes are. They catalyze specific reactions involving specific substrates. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products. 1 enzymes act like biological catalysts that speed up reaction rates.
